George Clooney Is ‘Sentimental’ About ‘Good Years’ With Amal and Family: Inside His Private Life (Exclusive)

George Clooney was feeling the love inside the Sala Grande theater on September 1 following the premiere of his new movie, Wolfs, at the Venice Film Festival. During a four-minute standing ovation, the smiling actor clapped along and shared a heartfelt hug with his costar and longtime friend, Brad Pitt, before the pair playfully danced to Sade’s “Smooth Operator.”

The screening was just one of many highlights of George’s visit to Venice with his wife, Amal. Ahead of the Wolfs screening, he and the 46-year-old human rights lawyer — who will celebrate their 10-year wedding anniversary on September 27 — enjoyed a double date at Ristorante da Ivo with Pitt and his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, where George pretended to be a waiter and posed for photos with staffers at the Italian eatery. Later, on the red carpet, the actor sweetly helped a photographer who’d fallen to the ground, then sat with a group of delighted paparazzo members and tinkered with one of their cameras.
